초록

급속한 산업발전과 더불어 전 세계적으로 약 10만 여종의 산업용 물질이 사용되고 있으며, 매년 2,000여종의 신규물질이 개발되고 있다. 이러한 물질들은 인류문화 발전에 크게 기여하고 있지만 일부 물질들은 유해, 위험성 등의 잠재적인 위험성을 가지고 있다. 우리나라는 세계 7대 화학제품 생산국가로, 활발한 수출 입을 통해 국가부흥에 기여하고 있다. 최근 REACH 및 GHS와 같은 화학물질 안전관리에 대한 국제적 관심이 증대되어 그에 따른 효율적인 화학물질 관리체계 구축에 대한 필요성이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 화학물질에 대한 국내, UN GHS 물리화학적 위험성 분류기준, 표지 및 위험성 평가 시험방법, 위험물안전관리법 등에서 정한 분류정보의 차이점을 비교하였으며, 또한 국제 환경변화에 대응하기 위하여 선택가능방식(building block approach)으로 GHS제도 도입방안을 제시하였다. 또한 소비자에게 화학물질의 통일화된 위험성 정보를 제공하여 산업체가 화학물질을 해외로 수출 입 하는데 무역장벽을 해소하고자 하였다.

With the rapid change of industry and the development of science and technology, more than 100,000 industrial chemicals are being used and 2,000 new materials are developed every year. Chemical products have had favorable influence on our daily life and contributed very much to the prosper of human culture. But some materials are inherently poisonous and dangerous. Korea ranks as the number 7 in world's chemical products market and the chemical sector is contributing to the economic revival through importing and exporting of the products. With the increasing domestic as well as international interests about REACH and GHS, the need for the effective and efficient chemical material management system is getting bigger and bigger. In this research, we compare the criteria in UN GHS and Safety Control of Dangerous Substances Act of Korea for the development of global standard test methods and the classification and labelling for the chemicals, and suggest an advancement plan for the introduction of the GHS in a building block approach. In addition, providing the harmonized information about chemical hazards is suggested for the elimination of international trade barriers for chemical industries.
